19:08 Local Time, 13:38 GMT, 19:08 IST: Although the toss took place, live visuals show a bit of drizzle. The pitch and square still remains uncovered

Ravichandran Ashwin | DD captain: We wanted to bowl as well, rain around is the reason. I think it's a good wicket so we can put pressure on them with the bat as well. Since we lost the last game I think it is easy to reset because when you keep winning you can't reset much. We would like to play some fearless cricket. Kishore gas moved out, bhati is in. We played a bit conservative in the last game so we would like to correct that

Baba Aparajith | CSG captain: We are not thinking about the numbers and the rest of what we need to advance. We just want to win the game today and no what is needed first.

Chepauk Super Gillies have won the toss and have opted to field

18:15 Local Time, 12:45 GMT, 18:15 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to our live coverage of the second game of today’s double-header from TNPL 2024. Chepauk Super Gillies will lock horns against the Dindigul Dragons in Coimbatore. CSG didn’t have a bright start to their campaign as they lost their first two games but bounced back in style in their last game against the Tiruppur Tamizhans. On the other hand, the Dragons have won one game and lost one game. DD won their opening game of their campaign but faultered in their last game largely owing to a mediocre batting performance. Both teams have good firepower in their ranks. Both teams are placed mid-table at present and will be eyeing to push up. Expect a scintillating contest. Toss and team lineups will be announced in a while...
